Tiko in Nigeria

In Nigeria, girls and young women ages 10 to 24 face significant sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) challenges, including early pregnancy. 19% of adolescent girls ages 15 to 19 have begun childbearing, 14% have given birth, and 4% are pregnant with their first child. To address the need, Tiko launched in Anuja, Nigeria in 2025. The work began to map the potential through partnerships with E-Health Africa, Planned Parenthood Federation of Nigeria and MSI Choices, as well as signing a memorandum of understanding with the Federal Capital Territory, enabling Tiko to offer services through the public sector. Tiko will partner with the Federal Ministry of Youth Development in the “Yo! Health Initiative” to prioritise the health and wellbeing of young people so that they can reach their dreams and contribute to the country’s growth and prosperity. This programme will adopt a multisectoral approach and focus on youth-led solutions to address challenges including mental health, sexual and reproductive health and HIV.
